• Timeshift: System Restore Tool for Linux

  I used to use restic with scripting, then I discovered resticprofile, and swiftly replace all my scripts with it.

  I also use Kopia as an alternative to Restic, in case some critical bugs happen to either one of them.

• Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage

  The main disadvantage with pure Restic is that you usually have to end up writing your own shell scripts for some configuration management because Restic itself has none of that.

  Fortunately there is https://github.com/creativeprojects/resticprofile to solve that problem.

• Duplicity

  I really like restic, and am personally happy to use it via the command line. It's very fast and efficient! However, I do wish there was better tooling / wrappers around it. For example, Pika Backup is a popular UI for Borg of which no equivalent exists for Restic. I'd love to be able to set something simple up on my partner's Macbook.

  For my own purposes, I've been using a script I found on Github[0] for a while, but it only really supports Backblaze B2 AFAIK.[1]

  I've been meaning to try autorestic[2] and resticprofile[3] as they are potentially more flexible than the script I'm currently using, and prestic[4] looks intriguing for my partner's use, but seems to have very few users. And the fact that there are so many competing tools makes it difficult to land on one.

• Alternative to Backblaze that does encryption AND incremental backups?
  2 projects | /r/selfhosted | 16 Apr 2023

  You mean encrypted snapshots of files and not snapshots of encrypted files right? because the later is not really possible. You can do incremental backups with restic and backblaze b2 though. Just setup an automated profile using resticprofile.

• Help me choose between borg, restic and rclone

  While we're talking restic tools, have you also tried restic-profile?

• I am looking for open-source backup application alternatives
  1 project | /r/selfhosted | 18 Jan 2023

  There's also restic profile. I've been using autorestic but coming from borgmatic it feels much less solid.
